One of Wednesday’s favorite weird dog snacks are carrots. She adores them. She hears us cutting them and comes running. She loves cinnamon flavored things too and I think cinnamon is one of the best flavors for the fall, its slight spiciness and warmth are amazing for the chilly nights and sweater-wearing days–dog sweaters of course.
These treats are human friendly too, but try, just try to pry them away from your pup’s paws, I dare you.
Happy Wednesday!
